Hi everyone,
Just received my newest crop of goodies including my Sears 32B (Mamiya Prismat clone using Exakta mount lenses). While I'll add a picture this evening, I've spent the afternoon cleaning and polishing. Ok, and playing. I had a 58 f1.7 F.C. Mamiya Sekor lens I bought one time on eBay just because it was an old semi auto lens (you cock the lens diaphragm first) but had no body to use the lens with. You know how the story goes, now I had to add a body to use the lens. This one came with a similar (but not identical 58mm, my first one was #900116 and says F.C. but the new arrival is # 145108 and no F.C.) lens , a Sekonic meter and a HUGE Accura 70-230 f4.5 zoom in Exakta mount. Spent the afternoon trying my Exakta lenses on the Mamiya/Sears as well as the Accura zoom on my Exakta VX. Now throw in my dozen or so T mount lenses with Exakta mount, 6 or 8 TX/T4 mount lenses and zooms, Firstflex 35 SLR with Exakta mount plus a few other trinkets and I believe I have three or four (EXA too) bodies and a bunch of lenses just aching for sunny weather and able legs.
Toss in my other new Mamiya -Sekor 50 f1.7 CS for my NC1000S (thought mine had a great 50 f1.4 but closer examination revealed someone had removed or broken the aperture actuator lever), a Praktica Super TL3, 2 135 f2.8's, a 300 5.6 Vivitar TX mount and an auto Takumar 55 f1.8 and we're in business. Now to figure out a pack harness for my dog...
